It's been a busy day. This afternoon we updated our web servers and moved our database to a faster server, which should be good news for LiveTimer's performance and stability. All went smoothly and required only 15 minutes of downtime.

This evening, we released a number of new features:

• Users can be assigned to all projects and / or activities - Because some people are a part of every project within a company, we've made it easy to assign them automatically to all current and future projects and / or activities. Look for the checkbox at the bottom of the assignments tab for each user (in Manage / Users).

• User assignments are now optional - Perhaps everyone is a part of every project within your company? Or perhaps you're a freelancer? Either way, you can now turn off user assignments altogether by unchecking User assignments in Settings / Features.

• Easier addition of projects and tasks - We now include a little add button next to each client and project in the Manage tab, allowing you to create new projects and tasks with a single click.

• Expand / collapse all clients, projects and tasks - It can be a bit tedious to open and close these hierarchical elements individually, so we now allow you to expand / collapse them en masse both in the Manage tab and the selector in the Timer.

• Simplified setup - We trimmed our Welcome tab down to a single page to get new users up and running faster.

• Interface clean up - LiveTimer's interface has been neatened and improved, often in subtle ways, to help you focus more on your data and less on our application.

We've actually got some even bigger improvements coming very, very soon. Many of our customers have waited quite patiently for expense tracking, and I'm glad to say that it's going through final testing right now. We're ironing out some final wrinkles and plan to release it in the next few days!
